Only Red

THE VOMIT ARSONIST

Two years after "An Occasion For Death", Andrew Grant's The Vomit
Arsonist returns with a vengeance with his second full length for
Malignant, "Only Red".
Inspired and galvanized by Brighter Death Now's
US shows in 2014, Grant's latest takes on an even more visceral and
dynamic feel than works past, and is unquestionably the heaviest thing
he's ever done.
If An Occasion for Death showed moments of self
discipline and hints of subtlety, no such restraint exists here, as
everything about this record feels amped up to an entirely new realm of
intensity.
This is The Vomit Arsonist in full attack mode, as explosive
and bludgeoning percussion loops emerge from a churning, monolithic pit
of corrosive electronics, menacing transformer buzz, chain dragging
atmospherics, and gasping machine exhalations.
Throw in a heavy dose of
processed, acidic vocals and the whole record becomes an adrenaline
fueled ride,wrought with tension, extreme nihilism, and palpable
hostility.
With Only Red, Grant has laid down a new flag at the summit
of an already impressive catalog.
Final track is a remix of Go Without
featuring Kristoffer Oustad.
